This video is the first in a series exploring the pedestrian bridges that have been designed through artist/engineer collaborations commissioned by the Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture Public Art Program and Street Transportation Department. It features the Ed Pastor Pedestrian Bridge and Isaac Streetscape, on McDowell Road between 32nd and 35th avenues.

These unique bridges reflect Phoenix’s commitment to building beauty into the infrastructure that gets us where we need to go! Streets, Highways and Transit throughout our city are filled with art that enlarges the experience of pedestrian bridges, bus shelters, underpasses, overpasses and freeway walls

Since its establishment in 1986, the Phoenix Public Art Program has been a national model for involving artists in designing and building a better city. By fostering collaborations among artists, engineers, architects, landscape architects and other urban designers and thinkers, the program enhances the look, feel and function of a wide range of public buildings, spaces and infrastructure.
